Already Filed, printed a form that said not ready

After successfully e-filling my 2019 taxes, I printed them out and came across a form (Schedule 8812, additional child tax credit)

that said DO NOT FILE, FORM NOT READY in faded grey block letters on the background of the form. Does that mean the form is going to be rejected? How can I even file if it wasn’t ready? This is concerning to me.

Did anyone else have this happen? It’s very strange to file a paper that’s states not to. Is this software error? Can someone direct me to a number I can call?

The Form 8812 has the watermark since it was filed before the IRS accepted the tax return. After the tax return has been accepted by the IRS then get another PDF of the return and the Form 8812 should have the watermark removed.
